Chapter 428
Even that short opening—where instead of The Dawn’s songs, the hottest trending tracks were woven in—was more than enough for PD Jung Junhwan’s intent to come through loud and clear.
He probably meant to use Kang Ichae as bait.
No one in this room could possibly be unaware of that. Yet, as everyone cheered without betraying a hint of unease, Baek Jijun felt a wave of nausea rise in his chest.
To hide his discomfort, he covered his mouth as though suppressing a cough and quietly observed the situation. Soon, the stage lights turned on, and comedian and professional MC Lee Jeongwoong walked out.
“Hello! I’m Lee Jeongwoong, your host for Song Camp Season 3!”
He loosened up the atmosphere by joking about his past—how he’d once tried releasing a self-produced song and crashed spectacularly.
“Season 3, excluding the introduction stage, will consist of three missions in total. Each mission will have a different theme, and both the details and evaluation methods will be revealed on the spot. The participant who earns the highest total score across all missions will win the competition—and take home a grand prize of one hundred million won. The winner will also become the main feature of a behind-the-scenes special episode.”
Everyone reacted with surprise at the mention of the prize, but Baek Jijun could only scoff. None of the people sitting here were desperate for pocket money.
What they all wanted was recognition—public awareness.
Once they gained that, whatever they were planning behind the scenes would naturally fall into place later.
